Warner Bros. is rebooting Superman and J.J. Abrams is attached to produce the film. The studio has also hired Ta-Nehisi Coates to write the script. No plot details have been revealed, but the report makes a point of saying that “Henry Cavill is eager to get back into the cape.” So it seems like Cavill will be back in the role, which is great news that DC fans will be happy to hear.
Coates really has done much with films, but he’s an author and journalist for The Atlantic. He covered cultural, social and political issues, specifically that of African Americans and white supremacy. He’s also written a Black Panther and a Captain America series for Marvel Comics. Coates is also attached to write a Ryan Coogler directed drama feature titled Wrong Answer about “a math teacher in Atlanta who is scandalized when he looks to get funding for his school by altering his students’ test scores.” Michael Jordan is attached to star in that film.
Hannah Minghella will serve as a producer on the new Superman project. Fans have been waiting to see what WB would do with the Superman franchise since the studio changed the trajectory of their DC movie plans. We knew one day we’d see another Superman movie, we just don’t know what to expect from it.
